    273 hydraulic cam/pushrod/adjustable rocker combination.

    Update, after purchasing a pushrod checker, a length of 7.070 gave me a good pattern across the valve stem. I then ordered a set from Smith Brothers Pushrods, they were very easy to work with and shipped them out two days later. I also had to shave .060 off the intake to get the ports and bolt...

    273 timing gear cover

    I want to thank everyone for their input, lots of good information... After the first attempt I took a better look at the front cover that I purchased from Mancini, the lower two holes that thread into the block were much larger then the original cover, so I assume they were originally designed...

    273 timing gear cover

    Thanks, I didn't think removing the pan was a great idea, just frustrated... I pulled the damper off and the seal is no where close to being centered to the crank. I'll start over!!

    273 timing gear cover

    Well that didn't go well...The seal leaks like a crazy. I loosened the pan bolts but I don'think it was enough to properly align the seal.. I was reluctant to break the pan gasket seal. Does anyone know if I can remove the pan when its in the car?

    273 timing gear cover

    All the original manual says is to install the cover and torque the bolts going into the block first and leave the two pan bolts for last. There are no locating pins which made me question the procedure. 4spdragtop, I like your idea and it makes sense. Thanks

    273 timing gear cover

    I'm currently swapping out my timing cover and as usual i tend to over think the process. Can anyone tell me if there is a specific tightening procedure to ensure the front seal is centered to the dampener hub.

    273 hydraulic cam/pushrod/adjustable rocker combination.

    SO after looking a little closer at the push rods they have definitely been shortened. Some of the cup tips weren't pressed in correctly or the rod wasn't cut squarely. I like the idea of setting my new intake on the deck and inspect the bolt alignment... I think i'm going to buy a set of...

    273 hydraulic cam/pushrod/adjustable rocker combination.

    If measured from ball to bottom of cup they are 7.026. Where do I go from here? Any ideas? I have had this car for 7 years and it doesn't matter what I touch I come across crap like this. I appreciate the help.

    273 hydraulic cam/pushrod/adjustable rocker combination.

    I agree with the adjusters being screwed in lower then normal but they are all over the map as well. Kinda the reason for mr to look deeper and check adjustment. Pic is of #1 and 7 .. see attached pics.

    273 hydraulic cam/pushrod/adjustable rocker combination.

    Just in the process of swapping out my intake with a LD4B on my 66-273. I decided to do some preventive maintenance and check the rocker arm adjustment. The engine has and Melling 23203 hydraulic cam (specs below) with Melling MPR-155 push rods and adjustable rockers. To my surprise there was...

    LD4B Intake

    thank-you.. Did you have any issues with the bolt holes? From what I understand the intake holes on a 65 are on a slightly different angel.

    Hey Michael, I was reading your tread regarding your intake swap.. What did you end up doing? I'm kicking around the idea of looking for a LB4D intake and swapping out my Performer.... If you did the swap did you have any hood clearance problems?

    Hi all, I currently have a 2176 Edelbrock Performer intake on my 66 273. I'm currently searching for a good LD4B intake. Before I waste a bunch of time can anyone tell me if there's enough hood clearance on a 66 Barracuda for a LD4B intake Or would any of you know the deck height of the intake?

    Help removing horn ring on 66 Barracuda

    I purchased a turn signal cancellation switch and thought the horn ring would simply come off by pushing down in the center and turning one way or the other but had no luck. So I thought before I break something I would ask the question. HOW DO I REMOVE THE HORN RING?

    Rear Axle Wheel Bearing's

    I have a 8 3/4 with a 489 diff. I noticed a wheel bearing noise from the rear so i pull both shafts, the right side was bad. However there was no way to adjust the axle end play. My question is do all 8 3/4's have adjustable axle shaft flanges/nuts?
